Great result! I like it! :)
Made in Poland cool thanks!
Now that is so professional...!!! An artist that stands behind their work 100%. And you explain what and why you did the modification. Thanks so much. I want to do one this summer and add to my garden. Loved your video!
Thank you very much Joseph
So what is the outcome of uniform holes along a copper or pvc pipe? Instead of installing the irrigation nozzles. Thanks !
The irrigation nozzles could not be easily replaced or removed if clogged. This is why I went to a threaded nozzle. And the nylon nozzles in pvc looked cleaner as a whole. And I used pvc because copper lacks the thickness for a decent thread so the nozzle wobbles in copper
Better called an upgrade. Your brain made a new wrinkle. You rock!!! Great problem solving.
Allen W thanks! Greatly appreciated. Maybe I'll change the title to upgrade 👍
I bought one of your water wall kits and love it. I know there must be tips for keeping those tiny nozzles from clogging. After only two days about one out of four of mine don't drip. Can you do a video on two things? One, how to keep your nozzles clean and how to clean them once they are clogged and two, How to keep splash to a minimum (if there is a way) so there's no need to fill the water so often. My birds love you!
If you haven't already, place the pump in a mesh bag to help filter the debris. Panty hose works well for this. The nozzles can be unscrewed to release trapped debris. Use the fuzzy pipe cleaners can also help clear clogged nozzles.
@ artfully rogue im building a rain curtain, i noticed your water comes out as droplets have you tried increasing your pvc to 3/4 inch to try to get more of a constant stream? my water bar is 7 ft long, using 1/2 inch pvc, and 50 drip sites which looks like the same amount of drop sites on a bar about twice as long. i was wondering if you had tried longer bars or had issues with pressure flows?
I've increased the pvc diameter to 1.25" and use an 1850ghp direct drive fountain pump and actually have to dial down the pressure so the streams are not so forceful
Hey, tried contacting you on Etsy... do you still have the premise pvc or nozzles for sale??
I've stopped selling the nozzles themselves but still make the rain curtain effect. If you're interested in the nozzles, I get them from Glennco Fittings and I think the part number is 011311...I'll double check that when I get to my shop tomorrow morning
@@ArtfullyRogue Love your channel!!! I will appreciate the info about the nozzles too. 🙏
I like your videos . you are jeneus
Hi Doug...I just want to clarify for myself what you meant when you say "the nozzles were moving" in the original design. At first I thought you meant the whole copper pipe was rotating due to the force of the water causing all the nozzles to spray sideways at the same angle (but once I watched your original video and saw that the copper was soldered and secured to the frame with the winged back fittings I realized the pipe couldn't move), so I'm assuming you meant the individual nozzles were moving, possibly causing the spray to go every which direction. I guess I'm confused, because, you replaced the copper pipe with pvc and new nozzles were installed. Couldn't you have tapped the copper pipe and threaded nozzles into it? I would have thought this would be more aesthetically pleasing given that you are going for an overall rustic look.
the nozzles (irrigation drippers) were moving because of the flexibility of the silicone. I did attempt to tap the copper and use the nylon nozzles, however the copper pipe wall was far to thin to provide any stability for the nozzles under pressure and the same problem occurred. The reason I went to pvc was due to the need for a thicker pipe wall. And added side effect of using the pvc occurrs when tapping the pvc. It expands and allows the nozzle to easily be screwed into place but then contracts eliminating the need for any type of sealant like Teflon tape on the threads. With regards to aesthetics, I've moved the pvc further up into the column which hides it from view
May I ask what size were the nozzles used it’s a 1/4?
Hi where do we get the nozzle?

Beautiful 👍👍How big is your pump and where do you buy please help thank a lot for my wall fountain
Sorry for the delay, I buy my pumps online at Graystone Creations. This particular pump is a Savio 1200gph
Great video very helpful. I'm trying to find the nylon couplers in the UK could you please tell me what size they are. I have looked on the Glenco website for the details using the product code you have but there isn't anything with that code. Thank you
Glennco will ship overseas
I'm not making a water curtain. I'm having the water go down a clear, solid piece of wavy plastic. I was feeding the water through plastic tubing with holes drilled in it. However, I didn't get an even flow. The water didn't get to the end of the tube, so I tried putting the tube on a downward slope. The water got to the end, but did not flow through the initial holes. Do you think using the PVC with the nozzles would help? Should I direct the nozzles to the front of the plastic? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you.
Sounds like you might also need a bit more water pressure as well. I use pvc so I can thread the nozzles into something more solid than tubing. I get the nozzles from Glennco Fittings part #011307
Hi looks great! Im looking at a section 3m long, would you reccomend in one length? And is it something i could purchase from you?
We could definitely build it, however it would probably be done in a couple sections so it could ship within the requirements.
Do you need to use nozzles or can you just drill holes in the pipe without nozzle? I am looking to make this same except I want to use bamboo for the pipe instead of PVC
I find that the nozzles help direct the flow of water. Without nozzles the streams of water can wander if the pressure is too low
Curious why you switched from copper to PVC?
Robert Namba the pvc allowed me to thread in the small nozzle. Not enough material to thread into copper and keep the nozzles straight
Excellent. What size gph pump did you use here?
I used a 1200gph pump with an inline ball valve to help regulate the flow
We are currently making one, the inside width is 64" would you suggest 1.25" pvc and which pump size 1200 or 1800? Appreciate your thoughts!
i watched your original video and never liked the silicones nozzle idea to much i search for a long time looking for threaded nozzles. you beat me to it i’m glad i came back to your videos thanks for answering the only question i’ve had in regards to these features.
Glad I could help Patrick
hi Please send me your link to purchase a 4 foot pic pipe done with the irrigation plugs
Please this link to my website shop and choose the size from the drop down menu artfullyrogue.com/product/rain-curtain-effect-only/
Did you silicone the barbed nozzles and is that schedule 40 1 inch
HI Josh I didn't actually need to use silicone. The nozzles sealed nicely on their own. And for this water feature I used 1.25" sch 40 pvc
Where did you get the nozzles?
Awesome bro 👌👌
Can you tell me where you buy nozel for hole ,and what actually called It?

@@ArtfullyRogue thanx bro 😊
Hey man I just stumbled on to your feed and WOW.!! Love the w-feature and especially the tilt table.. love your work.! Want to pass on a little tip which may or may not know, when I tap thin metal (up to 3mm or 3/8) or in this case PVC, put the tap into a cordless drill and bam.. much quicker (if you’re worried about ruining the thread put drill in slower speed) Cheers 🍻🤘🌱
I actually drill the holes with my drill press and the tap the holes with my cordless drill, so yes great tip. And thanks for the sub!!
Great first (and updated) videos. Really well done. What size pump did you use for the water curtain? (or how do you determine what size pump?} Thanks
ThanX great ideas...let me know how to contact you. Jack

I have one small question. If there is wind flowing in high speed could streamline stay at its original position? If not how could we fix it ?
Yes a strong wind can affect the stream of water. You can turn up the water pressure which changes the feel of the rain curtain effect. Can't really fight mother nature.
Droping flow ( like rain drop) and uniform flow gives different result on wind ??
Hi,
Greetings from Australia. Love your Chanel! Would you mind advising me on something? I make some outdoor sculptures using Corten weathering steel. It works well but I have to order in big sheets and it is expensive.
Am I tight in thinking you use ordinary mild steel?
I would love to know how it holds up?
Thanks so much.
Yes. I use mild sheet steel. I found that any sheet steel without mill scale. Here I just ask for cold rolled steel. I'm not certain what the long term effect is however I know after several years all of my projects are still going strong and have not rusted through. Usually once I use the acid/peroxide method and let it sit overnight I'll rinse the piece to stop the effect and then I'll spray a clear coat to seal it.
Thanks so much, appreciate your advice! @@ArtfullyRogue
How can i get wasps nest out of my water curtain?
Good question. I'm not really sure as I've never had to deal with wasp or bees making a nest in my water feature. Maybe there's a spray on the market that can be used.
I really love your video! could you please post the brand of the rain drips, size, and pressure please
you can get the plastic nozzles online from Glennco Fittings part #011307. What do you mean by pressure?
That looks great
thanks
Sir, may I know the size of the nozzles that you used.
Doug I live in BRAZIL and unfortunately is not easy to find the irrigation plugs, could you recomend the right ones at Amazon that I could import just to be sure that I will select the right ones? Thanks!
Hello Elenita, I buy the nozzles from an online company that has shipped overseas before. It's called Glencco Fittings and you'l want to order part number 011307. I haven't found anything on Amazon yet
Hello...i am doing a water feature.....do you make or sell the PVC with the nozzles? If not, can you recommend someone?
I sell it on my website ArtfullyRogue.com
Do you still sell this part?
What size water pump are you using?
Depending on the fountain size, I use a 1200gph or 1800gph. There's a link in the description to the pump
My rain curtain is approx. the same size as the one you have displayed.
Is the nozzles size is 1/8 and barb size is 1/4 ? Please help I found a website that has it but not of size
they're 10-32 thread and 1/8". I buy them online from Glennco Fittings part #011307

Hi, how have you connected the PVC pipe to a copper fitting?
I've actually stopped using copper all together. At the time I used a product called Sharkbite that went from 1/2" pipe thread to a 1/2" push connect and that would take me from pvc to copper
Love it!, Where can i find the nozzles?
I get them from Glennco Fittings part #011307
ok now im really confused in the video you said you are using 1/2 inch pvc but in the commentts below you say you are using 1.25"? i already piped in my pvc and that sure doesnt look like 1/2"
When I shot the video it was 1/2" pvc however I stepped up the diameter to 1.25" to reduce stress on the pump. Forcing water through the smaller diameter puts stress on the pump according to the manufacturer of the particular pump I use.
@@ArtfullyRogue You should put a T into your supply with a valve that dumps water back into the reservoir. That way you can easily regulate the pressure without back pressure into the pump.
@@douglaspost4976 That was a consideration when I first started making these. However, after speaking with the manufacture, they suggested using an inline ball valve to regulate pressure. The particular pump I'm using can handle up to a 50% reduction in water flow without creating issues for the pump. I rarely go above 40% reducuction. However I do like the method you suggested if I use other pump brands
@@ArtfullyRogue Pressure and water volume are two different components. An inline ball valve will reduce water volume but actually increase pressure because the pump still wants to push a certain of volume thru, and by restricting the volume of water it can push thru the pressure of the water increases. Back pressure is never good and will shorten the life of the pump. The option I discussed will decrease the volume and the pressure proportionality without negatively affecting the pump.
On my design I was also thinking of chlorinating the water and running it thru a filter so bacteria and other things will not form. Bromine would work also but it will discolor the rocks. I am also considering upsizing the manifold at the top from 1.25" to 3" or larger to have more water volume available with a lower pressure.
I was also going a cheaper route and a smaller hole to dig by using a gutter system that collects the water and then feeds into a sump basin to recirculate. The basin you use is pretty expensive. The advantage of this for me is it will be easy to remove the pump in the winter as I live in Michigan. I won't have to remove the screen and all the stone to get at the pump.
FROM WHERE I GET THIS NOZZELES??
